“All of life is 6 to 5 against”
— Damon Runyon
Simplified Meaning:
Life often feels like a gamble where the odds are stacked slightly against us. Imagine you're playing a game where the chances of winning are a bit less than losing. This means, most of the time, you have to work harder and put in more effort to succeed. In real life, think about a student trying to get good grades. They have to study a lot, manage their time, and sometimes still face challenges that make it tough to pass. The same goes for adults trying to achieve their career goals; they face competition and obstacles. To apply this idea, remember that success often requires persistence and determination because things don't always go smoothly. By staying motivated and resilient, you can improve your chances of overcoming difficulties and achieving your goals.
